Zimbabwe's torture camps
Zimbabwe's ruling party is training children as young as 12 to torture and kill its political opponents, the British Broadcasting Corporation reported on Sunday.

The BBC's investigative programme Panorama said it had interviewed dozens of veterans of training camps for youth militias loyal to President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.

They reported being subjected to rape and beatings inside the camps and to being taught to torture and kill Mugabe's opponents, the BBC said.

"In their training camps the Zimbabwean government is subjecting thousands of innocent youths to rape, brainwashing and brutality," the BBC said in a statement about the programme issued before its broadcast on Sunday.
